About
the WHS: The Wildwood Historical Society is a non-profit
organization dedicated to collecting, protecting, and preserving the
colorful 200-year history of this island. Started in 1963 by
Wildwood volunteer firefighter George F. Boyer, the WHS has grown
over the past 61 years to encompass 5 rooms and seemingly
endless Wildwood artifacts and photographs. Located at 3907
Pacific Avenue, the WHS is open Monday through Saturday from 10 a.m.
to 3 p.m. between Memorial Day and Labor Day each year. In April, May,
September and October, we’re open Thursday through Saturday
10 a.m. to 3 p.m. We are currently in need of volunteers to help
with various tasks around the museum, so if you are interested in
learning more about Wildwood or taking up the cause to preserve its
history, come help out!
Program
Details:
We are
seeking volunteers of any age to help out around the museum.
There is no application; all we ask is that prospective volunteers
visit the museum to meet with our Manager for a short
orientation of sorts to learn about the Historical Society
beforehand. Volunteers are asked to commit to 25 hours of
volunteer work per month. We are open Monday through Saturday 10 a.m.
to 3 p.m., and volunteers are free to choose when they come in, with
prior notice. Tasks for volunteers include the following:
·
Greeting
museum visitors
·
Assisting with
opening/closing of the museum
·
Helping guests
with research requests
·
Cleaning or
organizing museum archives/collections
·
Keeping the
museum tidy
Join us
in continuing to keep Wildwood history alive. Email us, give us a call

operation for more information or to organize a visit!
